“When we pick up one end of the stick , we pick the other ”

Success is on one far side of failure .

The 30-Day Test• Work in your circle of influence,

make small commitments and keep it .• Be part of the solution, not part of the problem .• When you have a mistake, admit it, correct it,

learn from it ,and stop blaming . • Look at the weakness of others with compassion, not

accusation . • If you start to think the problem is "out there," stop yourself.

That thought is the problem.

2nd Habit: Begin with the end in mind

Begin with the end in mind

The Relation Between the 1st and 2nd Habit

As in computer metaphor habit 1 says:“you are programmer” ,habit 2 says :“write the program”.

• Meaning of beginning with the end– How different our lives when

we really know what is important to us

All things are created twice

• There's mental or first creation and physical or second creation to all things.

Often in our quest for more fame to be apart of the

favourite group we lose our sight to the things that is more

important.

Three warnings:

Keys to determine your goals• Calculate the cost.

• Make it written.

• Just do it.

• Co-operation

Add a touch of realism.

The goal that is not written is just a wish.

Do it or not ,but don’t try.

Whenever your ropes increase, your chances for success increase.
